After a defensive mix-up in Cullen's zone, Celedonio Inguma stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.

Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.
Astor Galsino struck a weak shot in the 55th minute. Aurelio Rufo didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal.

A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. When Apolo Marino fell near the penalty area in the 68th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Cullen's protests and gave Apolo Marino a yellow card for diving instead. Albino Cresitobalo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 69th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.
